S. forkShenandoah this weekend

[Bob Richey]

Hey all,

I'm heading to Luray for the coming weekend.  Any advice on fishing the south fork this time of year, such as best time of day and flies?  Thanks in advance.

You should still be able to get some topwater action this time of year. Blue is the famous color, but I've seen chartreuse work well, as well as some bigger white/green gurglers. It's getting towards the end of the season, so bring some streamers as well. Your standard clousers will work (olive and white tends to produce well for me there), but one of my favorite patterns on the Shenandoah mimics a hogsucker. Murray's fly shop is a bit out of your way probably, but you can look up the pattern there.

Some of the stretches will be low and you'll be dragging, but fishing should be good.  We've had good luck in the floats we've done this year with the usual poppers and various streamers.  Woolly buggers and small calf tail clousers work well -- it's all good.

I generally find afternoon to be the most productive. I also like blue poppers. I think the top water action more exciting and less snagging on the bottom is an added bonus. Most fish I have caught attack the popper on the dead drift after a good 'pop'.
